The Hong Kong Fixer as a Swiss Army knife?

  Some may not be familar with the term of ” Fixer” as it is mostly used in the jargon of cinema people and journalists.  The “Fixer” is the one who “fixes”, posseses an intimate knowledge of the local terrain and shares it with his client, his partner, his friend. He generally makes sure things happen in a foreign environement.

  Carrying out a mission in Hong Kong or China can seem a dauting task at first and it sure helps to have a local contact who knows the ropes and has at a disposal a range of cultural and practical tools that can prove invaluable.  The Fixer is solid pillar of trust in a moving and complex place, an anchor. Imagine a human GPS combined with an extensive rolodex, a light at the end of a dark cultural tunnel.

 

  In this fast paced  Hong Kong ( and in China too with over 12% growth for the past 10 years), time is of the essence. Here more than anywhere, the phrase “Work Hard, play Hard” rings true. Finding yourself in a new universe may be harder than expected. The Hong Kong Fixer offers a way to optimise your time, to make the very best out of your short stay in Asia and an opportunity be a simple phone call away from understanding and a solution to your situation. The Hong Kong Fixer does everything in his power to connect you directly with the city.

“The HongKong fixer” en tant que couteau suisse ?

 

  Pardonnez ce mot Anglais qui pourrait peut être porter a confusion. Le “Fixer”, c’est celui qui arrange, organise. C’est celui qui “fix” , qui possède une connaissance intime du terrain et la partage avec son partenaire, son client, son ami.

  Dans une réalité quotidienne si mouvante et parfois instable, il est bon d’avoir un contact priviligié localement qui connaisse les “bons plans”. Une ancre. Imaginez un peu un couteau suisse et un carnet d’adresses combinés. Une sorte de GPS humain , un feu antibrouillard dans la brume culturelle. 

  Dans cette ville de Hong Kong, le temps est très precieux. Il faut aller vite car ici plus qu’ailleurs, le temps c’est de l’argent et la règle du “work hard play hard ” règne. On se retrouve dans un autre univers où l’on manque de repères et de liens. Le Hong Kong fixer offre une manière d’optimiser son temps, de mieux profiter de son court passage en Asie, et d’avoir à portée d’un simple coup de fil, un interlocuteur de votre propre culture qui connait bien la culture chinoise et se met en quatre pour vous y connecter.
